    Where is the 8,647 number coming from? I don’t believe it was 250k, but I don’t believe 8,647 either.

    So, according to Trump after he’s told that number, “millions and millions and millions, a parade like you’ve never seen! Streets overflowing! Yuge! Tremendous! The biggest and bestest parade of all time, I’d say! Putin and Kim were seeing it on their big screens, they called me just to tell me how beautiful of a parade mine was, and asked for advice on how to improve theirs! - I just know they must’ve had tears in their eyes seeing my big beautiful parade”.

    All while frantically playing his imaginary accordion. 🤡

    Unfortunately, there after a lot of photoshopped/ generated / cut images so it is really hard to tell if there were many people on trump’s show. I wished people would post the real photos instead of such obviously fake shit.

    To spell it out for y’all, it’s a joke number.

    86 means to stop, get rid of, or kill.

    47 is the trump president number.

    It’s worth mentioning that the entire DC Metro area is roughly 6 Million people. Calling this a small turnout for a city that size, let alone the whole country, is an understatement.

      Love how MTG points out how bad democrats are by pointing out DT had two assassination attempts. Fails to mention both were by registered and very openly loud repubs.

      I’m sure I’ve also seen some news articles you haven’t, its kinda hard to keep up with literally every single piece of news, especially something as inconsequential as that.

      Hell, I had never even heard of the term 86 before today, and I know I’m not the only one in the comments that hadn’t.

    So 8 highschools. That’s pretty good. A well known Mexican Pueblo doesn’t even match that by at least 5 or 6 more people for Sunday church.

      My highschool was more than 2000 people. And it was so new that our first semester was on two different campuses and they were still building int around us for another two years when we did move in.

      Now I live in a very different area. The localist mega church gets 17,000+ butts in seats each week.

      8500 people is less than normal tourism on a Saturday for DC. It was actually a net negative for attendance over just a normal day.

    This is the sphere in Las Vegas it holds a standing room capacity of 20,000 people or about 2.3x more people than attended Donny’s birthday flop parade.

    Not sure I believe that number. But hell, I can’t estimate crowds to save my life. At one point I was in the largest rock concert of all time, still have no clue.

    All I can say is the one I went to easily had 2,000. And that’s in the reddest part of Florida, and only 1 of 2 protests in Pensacola.
